Cheddar Ranch Twice Baked Potatoes|This Is Why I’m Full

You might be tired of our potatoes by now, but we certainly aren’t! We have an entire bag of our homemade french fries sitting in the freezer waiting to be devoured! Unfortunately we don’t have any of our Cheddar Ranch Twice Baked Potatoes in the freezer, they don’t freeze well! But they are so delicious that it’s worth the effort it takes to make them! There’s nothing like a delicious cheesy potato right out of the oven, add bacon and ranch and I’m sold! I can’t wait to make these again, especially the cheesy ranch sauce!

Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through (or use our Crock Pot Baked Potatoes recipe that is linked in the description!)

Slice the butter into pats.

Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon, sour cream and green onione.

Remove the potatoes from the oven.

Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.

With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise.

Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear through the skin, you need it to hold together!

Lay the hollowed out potato skins on a baking sheet.

Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon green onions and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, 1/2 packet of ranch dressing, and black pepper to taste and mix together well.

Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping.

Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and put them back in the oven until the potato is warmed through

Mix the remaining ranch dressing with a small amount of Mexican queso cheese (the yellow stuff in the jar) and 1/3 cup of sour cream and when the potatoes are reheated serve it over the top or on the side.

Twice Baked Potatoes | This Is Why I’m Full

Over the last month or so the hubby and I have been buying and eating a LOT of potatoes, and as far as I am concerned there is no potato dish that isn’t a good potato dish and Twice Baked Potatoes happen to be one of my favorite ways to eat potatoes! We made these delicious potatoes twice in a week and then I thought why just make them with bacon and green onions, why not make different ones, and so we bring you a new daily event this week! Our first Potato-Palooza! We will be posting a new Twice Baked Potato or other potato recipe every day this week! We hope you have as much fun making them as we did!

Game Time Creamy Bacon Dip|This Is Why I’m Full

Get ready for the super bowl with this Game Time Creamy Bacon Dip! You can put it out right next to the beer dip and see which one will last longer. This year I’ll be making both of them and my plan is to set up a pool to see which one will last longer. I should throw a bacon and beer party, I’ve got so many recipes that I could make for a party like that. Also I found Bacon Socks that I need an “excuse” to wear. Because everyone loves bacon, and socks, double whammy! I would suggest making this dip with real bacon, you can use bacon bits in a pinch but really, why do you even have bacon bits in your cupboard? You should go back to the store and get some real bacon.

Just like the beer dip, this is a thick dip and I like to keep them warm throughout the day so people can munch on them easily, and without breaking chips or pretzels off in the dip and making everyone stop eating because thats just gross. I recently got another Crock Pot so I can do my pool and see which dip is actually better.

Also, the dip may also be placed in hollowed round sourdough loaf, wrapped in foil and heated in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes if you don’t want to make this in a slow cooker and expect it to be gone quickly.
